Our family -- two adults and an 11 year old boy and 15 year old girl -- went on our first whitewater rafting trip on Tuesday, June 26. My husband and I had experienced paddling canoes down tricky rivers, but the kids were total novices. Our guide, Matias Flores, did an excellent job of explaining the instructions he would be giving us. He did an excellent job of reading the river and telling us what we needed to do. He was also an excellent tour guide, and shared entertaining and educational information about the sights we were seeing. We successfully navigated all. Of the Type I, II and III rapids. Matias was great with our kids and was friendly and courteous at all times. We had SO much fun and we WILL be back.
